while I was copying stuff from the guest to the host (basically text), the VM crashed.
Host OS: Fedora Linux 36 x64 X11 (Xorg) kernel 5.19.16
Guest OS: Windows XP Professional x86 (with Microsoft Premier Extended Support Updates 'till July 2019)
VirtualBox Version: 7.0.2 r154219
Extensions: 7.0.2 r154219
Bug: Copying URL from guest to host causes the VM to crash
Bug Description:
When Shared Clipboard is enabled, it's possible to copy text from guest to host and vice versa, however when "particular" things like URL and other particularly formatted texts are copied (like from Chrome etc) those fail to be converted properly and therefore cannot be pasted to the host. On top of that, this might lead the guest to crash, which of course is bad.
To highlight the relevant portion of the logs, I'd say that this should give a pretty good insight:
